Information Regarding the Results:

 

·            Q1 revenue increased 22% reflecting double digit growth across each segment.  Operating Income Before Amortization grew 78% driven by strong profit growth at Search, Match and ServiceMagic.

 

·            Q1 net income and Adjusted Net Income grew $36.8 million and $33.0 million, respectively, reflecting strong operating performance.  The prior year period included an impairment charge related to an investment, partially offset by a gain associated with the sale of certain securities which collectively impacted net loss and Adjusted Net Income by $15.8 million and GAAP EPS and Adjusted EPS by $0.14 and $0.13, respectively.

 

·            Q1 Free Cash Flow and cash flows from operating activities attributable to continuing operations were $45.6 million and $53.9 million, respectively.

Search

 

Search includes Mindspark, our digital consumer products business consisting of our proprietary operations through which we develop, market and distribute downloadable applications, and our B2B operations, which provide customized browser-based applications for software and media companies; destination websites, including Ask.com and Dictionary.com, through which we provide search and additional services; and CityGrid Media, an online media company that aggregates and integrates local ads and content and distributes them to publishers across web and mobile platforms.

 

Search revenue reflects strong growth from Mindspark’s B2B and proprietary operations as well as continued improvements from destination websites and CityGrid Media.  The revenue growth in B2B was driven by increased engagement from existing partners as well as the contribution from new partners while the growth in the proprietary business was driven primarily by the nearly 30 new products launched since the prior year period.  The revenue growth in destination websites reflects increased marketing efforts while the growth in CityGrid Media primarily reflects the contribution from new resellers.  Profits were favorably impacted by higher revenue and lower depreciation expense, partially offset by higher traffic acquisition costs and increased marketing expense.

Match

 

Match revenue benefited from strong growth within its Core(1) and Developing(2) operations.  Core revenue increased 18% to $93.3 million driven by a 22% increase in subscribers.  Developing revenue increased 82% to $18.3 million driven by the full quarter contribution of Singlesnet, as well as from our venture with Meetic in Latin America and the acquisition of OkCupid, neither of which were reflected in the year ago results.  Profits were favorably impacted by higher revenue and lower selling and marketing expense as a percentage of revenue.

 

ServiceMagic

 

ServiceMagic revenue benefited from growth in its domestic and international operations.  Domestically, revenue growth reflects a 9% increase in accepted service requests, which was driven by an 11% increase in service professionals, partially offset by lower average accepted service request fees.  Average accepted service request fees were impacted by a shift in mix to lower value service requests.  Domestic service requests declined 1% due primarily to reduced marketing efforts in the current year period.  Domestic growth also reflects an increase in revenue from website fulfillment and hosting services.  ServiceMagic International revenue growth reflects an 85% increase in accepted service requests.  Profits were favorably impacted by higher revenue and lower domestic marketing expenses.  Profits in 2010 benefited from the reversal of a $1.5 million provision for contingent consideration related to an acquisition, which was not earned.

 

Media & Other

 

Media & Other includes Electus, CollegeHumor, Notional, Vimeo, Pronto, Shoebuy, Proust and Hatch Labs.  The increase in revenue primarily reflects growth at Shoebuy, Notional, Electus and Vimeo, partially offset by a decline at Pronto.   Operating Income Before Amortization loss increased due to the inclusion in the year ago period of $3.1 million in profit related to our former interest in Reveille; lower profits in the current year period from Pronto due to lower revenue; and investments in Hatch Labs, which was not in the year ago period, and Proust. These items more than offset the reduced losses at The Daily Beast, which, following the formation of the joint venture with Harman Newsweek on January 31, 2011, has been accounted for as an equity method investment. The reduced operating loss reflects a decrease of $1.1 million in amortization of intangibles.

 

Corporate

 

Corporate expenses in the current year period reflect increased compensation and other employee-related costs and a non-income tax refund in the year ago results.

 


Note 1: Match Core consists of Match.com in the United States, Chemistry.com and People Media.

Note 2: Match Developing consists of OkCupid, Singlesnet, mobile-only products and our international operations.

OTHER ITEMS

 

Equity in losses of unconsolidated affiliates in Q1 2011 reflects losses related to our investment in The Newsweek Daily Beast Company partially offset by income related to our investment in Meetic.

 

Equity in losses of unconsolidated affiliates in Q1 2010 includes a write-down of $18.3 million related to our investment in The HealthCentral Network, Inc. Other income in Q1 2010 includes a $4.0 million pre-tax gain related to the sale of certain securities.

 

The effective tax rates for continuing operations and Adjusted Net Income in Q1 2011 were 44% and 39%, respectively.  The effective tax rate for continuing operations was higher than the statutory rate of 35% due principally to interest for tax contingencies and state taxes, partially offset by foreign income taxed at lower rates.  The effective tax rate for Adjusted Net Income was higher than the statutory rate of 35% due principally to state taxes and interest for tax contingencies.  The tax provision for continuing operations was $6.1 million in Q1 2010 on a pre-tax loss of $8.5 million.  The effective tax rate for Adjusted Net Income was 86% in Q1 2010.  The continuing operations tax provision, despite a pre-tax loss, and the Adjusted Net Income effective tax rate, which was higher than the statutory rate of 35%, were due principally to a valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset created by the impairment charge for our investment in The HealthCentral Network, Inc., interest on tax contingencies and state taxes.

 

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

As of March 31, 2011, IAC had 89.9 million common and class B common shares outstanding.  IAC may purchase shares over an indefinite period of time, depending on those factors IAC management deems relevant at any particular time, including, without limitation, market conditions, share price and future outlook.

 

As of March 31, 2011, IAC had approximately $1.3 billion in cash and marketable securities, and $95.8 million in long-term debt.

For the three months ended March 31, 2011 consolidated Free Cash Flow increased by $0.5 million due to higher income and lower capital expenditures, partially offset by the timing of payments related to accounts payable.  The prior year period benefited from certain tax refunds versus cash taxes paid in 2011.

The weighted average number of RSUs outstanding for Adjusted EPS purposes includes the weighted average number of performance-based RSUs that the Company believes are probable of vesting. There are no performance-based RSUs included for GAAP purposes.

IAC’S PRINCIPLES OF FINANCIAL REPORTING

 

IAC reports Operating Income Before Amortization, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS and Free Cash Flow, all of which are supplemental measures to GAAP. These measures are among the primary metrics by which we evaluate the performance of our businesses, on which our internal budgets are based and by which management is compensated. We believe that investors should have access to, and we are obligated to provide, the same set of tools that we use in analyzing our results. These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results. IAC endeavors to compensate for the limitations of the non-GAAP measures presented by providing the comparable GAAP measures with equal or greater prominence and descriptions of the reconciling items, including quantifying such items, to derive the non-GAAP measures. We encourage investors to examine the reconciling adjustments between the GAAP and non-GAAP measures contained in this release and which we discuss below.  Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year.

 

Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures

 

Operating Income Before Amortization is defined as operating income excluding, if applicable: (1) non-cash compensation expense, (2) amortization and impairment of intangibles, (3) goodwill impairment, (4) pro forma adjustments for significant acquisitions, and (5) one-time items. We believe this measure is useful to investors because it represents the consolidated operating results from IAC’s segments, taking into account depreciation, which we believe is an ongoing cost of doing business, but excluding the effects of any other non-cash expenses. Operating Income Before Amortization has certain limitations in that it does not take into account the impact to IAC’s statement of operations of certain expenses, including non-cash compensation and acquisition-related accounting.

 

Adjusted Net Income generally captures all items on the statement of operations that have been, or ultimately will be, settled in cash and is defined as net income available to common shareholders excluding, net of tax effects and noncontrolling interest, if applicable: (1) non-cash compensation expense, (2) amortization and impairment of intangibles, (3) goodwill impairment, (4) pro forma adjustments for significant acquisitions, (5) income or loss effects related to IAC’s former passive ownership in VUE, including the gain on sale, (6) non-cash income or expense reflecting changes in the fair value of the derivatives created in the Expedia spin-off as a result of both IAC and Expedia shares being issuable upon the exercise of certain IAC warrants, (7) income or expense reflecting changes in the fair value of the derivative asset associated with the HSE sale, (8) one-time items, and (9) discontinued operations.  We believe Adjusted Net Income is useful to investors because it represents IAC’s consolidated results, taking into account depreciation, which we believe is an ongoing cost of doing business, as well as other charges which are not allocated to the operating businesses such as interest expense, taxes and noncontrolling interest, but excluding the effects of any other non-cash expenses.

 

Adjusted EPS is defined as Adjusted Net Income divided by fully diluted weighted average shares outstanding for Adjusted EPS purposes.  We include dilution from options and warrants in accordance with the treasury stock method and include all restricted stock units (“RSUs”) in shares outstanding for Adjusted EPS, with performance-based RSUs included based on the number of shares that the Company believes are probable of vesting. This differs from the GAAP method for including RSUs, which treats them on a treasury method basis and with respect to performance-based RSUs only to the extent the performance criteria are met (assuming the end of the reporting period is the end of the contingency period).  Shares outstanding for Adjusted EPS purposes are therefore higher than shares outstanding for GAAP EPS purposes.  We believe Adjusted EPS is useful to investors because it represents, on a per share basis, IAC’s consolidated results, taking into account depreciation, which we believe is an ongoing cost of doing business, as well as other charges which are not allocated to the operating businesses such as interest expense, taxes and noncontrolling interest, but excluding the effects of any other non-cash expenses. Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS have the same limitations as Operating Income Before Amortization, and in addition Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS do not account for IAC’s former passive ownership in VUE.  Therefore, we think it is important to evaluate these measures along with our consolidated statement of operations.

 

Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities, less capital expenditures. In addition, Free Cash Flow excludes, if applicable, tax payments and refunds related to the sale of IAC’s interests in VUE, PRC and HSE, an internal restructuring and dividends that represent a return of capital due to the exclusion of the proceeds from these sales and dividends from cash provided by operating activities. We believe Free Cash Flow is useful to investors because it represents the cash that our operating businesses generate, before taking into account cash movements that are non-operational. Free Cash Flow has certain limitations in that it does not represent the total increase or decrease in the cash balance for the period, nor does it represent the residual cash flow for discretionary expenditures.  For example, it does not take into account stock repurchases.  Therefore, we think it is important to evaluate Free Cash Flow along with our consolidated statement of cash flows.

IAC’S PRINCIPLES OF FINANCIAL REPORTING - continued

 

Pro Forma Results

 

We will only present Operating Income Before Amortization, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS on a pro forma basis if we view a particular transaction as significant in size or transformational in nature. For the periods presented in this release, there are no transactions that we have included on a pro forma basis.

 

One-Time Items

 

Operating Income Before Amortization and Adjusted Net Income are presented before one-time items, if applicable. These items are truly one-time in nature and non-recurring, infrequent or unusual, and have not occurred in the past two years or are not expected to recur in the next two years, in accordance with SEC rules. GAAP results include one-time items. For the periods presented in this release, there are no adjustments for one-time items.

 

Non-Cash Expenses That Are Excluded From Our Non-GAAP Measures

 

Non-cash compensation expense consists principally of expense associated with the grants, including unvested grants assumed in acquisitions, of stock options, restricted stock units and performance-based RSUs. These expenses are not paid in cash, and we include the related shares in our fully diluted shares outstanding which, for stock options and restricted stock units, are included on a treasury method basis.  We view the true cost of our restricted stock units and performance-based RSUs as the dilution to our share base, and as such units are included in our shares outstanding for Adjusted EPS purposes as described above under the definition of Adjusted EPS. Upon the exercise of certain stock options and vesting of restricted stock units and restricted stock, the awards are settled, at the Company’s discretion, on a net basis, with the Company remitting the required tax withholding amount from its current funds.

 

Amortization of intangibles is a non-cash expense relating primarily to acquisitions. At the time of an acquisition, the intangible assets of the acquired company, such as technology and supplier agreements, are valued and amortized over their estimated lives. While it is likely that we will have significant intangible amortization expense as we continue to acquire companies, we believe that since intangibles represent costs incurred by the acquired company to build value prior to acquisition, they were part of transaction costs.

 

Income or loss effects related to IAC’s former passive ownership in VUE, including the gain on sale are excluded from Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS because IAC had no operating control over VUE, which was sold for a gain in 2005, had no way to forecast this business, and did not consider the results of VUE in evaluating the performance of IAC’s businesses.

 

Non-cash income or expense reflecting changes in the fair value of the derivatives created in the Expedia spin-off was excluded from Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS because the obligations underlying these derivatives, which related to the Ask Convertible Notes and certain IAC warrants, were expected to ultimately be settled in shares of IAC common stock and Expedia common stock, and not in cash.

 

Non-cash income or expense reflecting changes in the fair value of the derivative asset related to the Arcandor AG stock was excluded from Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS because the variations in the value of the derivative were non-operational in nature.

 

Free Cash Flow

 

We look at Free Cash Flow as a measure of the strength and performance of our businesses, not for valuation purposes. In our view, applying “multiples” to Free Cash Flow is inappropriate because it is subject to timing, seasonality and one-time events. We manage our business for cash and we think it is of utmost importance to maximize cash — but our primary valuation metrics are Operating Income Before Amortization and Adjusted EPS.
